SCA History

Wencenedl joined the Society after graduate school. She had been making garb for her brother, Tormod of Kirk Andreas, and decided she should check out some events for herself. She began her involvement in the Canton of West Jorvik, in Septentria, but later moved to Ramshaven.

As Bucina under the Trillium Tenure of Brand Thorvaldson, Wencenedl compiled and edited the new Ealdormere Pursuivant's Handbook. The finished book was presented to Their Majesties Etienne I and Valfreya I.
